That Finding of Guilt and Order Withholding Adjudication did not contain any findings that the Defendant was designated by the trial court as a sexual offender. Under the law there is an “exception” to the False Imprisonment Statute (§787.02, Fla. Stat.) that requires registration as a sexual offender. However, the designation does require an order be signed in order to trigger that exception, which was never signed in this case.
